Flash, I remember hearing your record for the first time in 1981. It was Wildstyle. I was in the Bronx, going to a yankee game with my Mom and Paddy Brady from the Westies...I was 5 years oldand saw these kids break dancing, and it stuck me, right deep. I was smitten with hi hop.
When I finally make a trip to NY I'm going to visit the legendary landmarks of Hip Hop and this gonna be one of my stops. Thank you for your contribution to the culture I fell in love with Grandmaster Flash. Much love and respect from the UK 🙏🏾💯
I read GMF's bio and loved it. The guy was brilliant and knew electronics to invent the gear he used. It's a great book. Pick it up. I loved it . I'm not a big fan of new hip hop but love the old school stuff . Thanks for the music.
PERIOD, point blank, end of story.....love the ending: ..... "I AM HE FIRST DJ TO MAKE TURNTABLES AN INSTRUMENT, AND I WILL SAY TO JOURNALISTS, ESPECIALLY THE ONES THAT ARE INTO THE HISTORICAL ASPECT WHERE HIP COMES FROM, COME TO THE BRONX, COME LEARN SOMETHING, B/C THIS IS WHERE IT COMES FROM.........GOOD TIMES !!!!!
Grandmaster ! Thanks man. I feel honoured to have you share this with me. To hear it come from you and and being down to earth makes it feel very real and close to home. I just know the spirit and mentality of those times all too well, and the best way to describe it is magical ! Bless your genius man, its too overwhelming to put a value on something so instantly unifying, which spread around the world. You most certainly are the Grand Master ! Peace !
Yes these people are lying flash, herc, bambaata are Lairs they do not invent Hip Hop. They will not even say African Americans had any thing to do with developing Hip Hop. Wake up African Americans.These 3 caribbeans dis are the Devil.
Grand Master Flash is the true & real HIP HOP DJ who turned the streets of NYC especially the BX into the biggest jams where u dance, shaked & moved to the groove nonstop. A good example of a kid who grew up & made real HIP HOP music one of a kind. He is the Father of Hip Hop and the greatest DJ of all time. I grew up hearing his music and till this day he still rocks my house with his awesome old school jams. ONE LOVE from Brooklyn... Giggles
I think he should also credit other guys from around the time, not all techniques were created by him, but yeah I agree mostly with him, and he is a fucking legend, I mean he is THE grandmaster flash, who am I to argue?
Grandmaster DJ Flowers opened the Concert for The GODFATHER of Soul James Brown in 1969 at yankee stadium. James Brown did not used his band but used the Father of Hip Hop Grandmaster DJ Flowers for the concert.
Yeah you are a legend and a pioneer, but don't take that much credit for yourself homie! grand Wizard Theodore was the one who first started scratching, your contribution was turntable Izm spinning the break beat back and forth with style.
That is the problem flash, bambaata, herc are saying that they started Hip Hop caribbean people and not African Americans. Wake African Americans they are trying to steal our music and styles.
flash, bambaata, herc is not giving credit to African Americans DJs. They are dominating Hip Hop like Gangsta. I see it. Some of those people the caribbean think they are better than African Americans wake up.
@@stanleyshack26 the sound system culture came from Jamaica which brought the toasting (MC’ing) you can deny it if you want but that’s where it came from #facts
breezwonder lolol u stupid ass ....u not hip hop...and your wrong ..this vid proves it. grand master flash a pioneer of hip hop who is barbodian...shit was created in the south bronx which is a puerto rican ghetto..the dude he gave a pound to was porto roc..nigga stop lying to ya self ...
Hear me and hear me now (GMF, you can grin anytime you feel). Any DJ that wants to be considered a DJ... I mean a REAL DJ... better start looking at Flash's channel. I remember when Flash came out with that wild track with all those cuts on it. It was raw, it was fresh, and no one outside of hip hop knew what was going to happen... but we did....
I agree with you, I must go to the bronx and visit the hip hop mecca. I grew up in memphis,tn and hip hop had a profound affect on the youth in the early 80s and to this day. Much respect Flash.

Grandmaster DJ FLOWERS, King Disco Mario, are true Fathers of Hip Hop.

Brooklyn, Queens, Harlem and other states in the United States started Hop and break dance.
Now after New Orleans the home of jazz I gotta visit Bronx to see where it all came from, the building should be used as a museum of hip hop ancestry.
I'm glad we have a Living Legend !!

African American Artists was using break in past history before the 1970s like James Brown.

Without the tools GMF created, scratching wouldn't be possible.
